This series was subbed by a kind subber that allowed us fans to watch this series till end. It was a little predictable, especially coming down to the end, but it was an okay series.

Story-5.5
I guess cause of how long it took for the series to be fully subbed, that I honestly forgot some of the storyline. So, I advise people to watch it all in one go or watch it over again from the beginning. Cause I have honestly forgotten what happened in the earlier episodes. I still gave it a five for what I do remember and thw last two episodes. I am also giving this score cause of how Toss stood up to his wife, who abandoned him and his baby for Tin, who he now loved. And also for Cho's mother- she was cool. I did give it a low score cause I honestly am annoyed with third characters, who think they deserve a chance to be with the two MC's. And also that third couple ( eventhough they weren't fully a couple) kind of felt a wee bit forced for me as the girl really didn't show that she liked the guy. I mean, okay, they are now together but still, it felt off to me.

Acting/Cast-5
Their acting was okay, as this is looking like their first acting gig.

Music-5
Music was really not here or there with me, which is usually my norm.

Rewatch Value-4
I don't really think that I will watch this series anytime soon as there really was nothing that held my interest to say that I will watch it again.

Overall-5
It started off cute and different but then the last two episodes just annoyed me so much. I can't even remember half of the things that happened in this series due to how long ago I started to watch it.

Let me start off by saying- all shows that I start to watch, I go in with the full ten stars. It's when the shows progresses over the episodes, my ratings may change or they will stay the same. As for the year 2020, I have yet to given a full ten stars for a series that was made in 2020 and completed in 2020. This series is the same. It started off sooo good for me that I honestly thought that I would give it a ten as well as I thought it would dethrone Sotus as the BL King for me. This was not the case, though.

Story- 8/10
While this story has been told already with Love Sick and My Boy of a fake relationship that then turns into a real one, 2gether the series started off differently. I loved the interaction between the leads and the progress of their 'relationship' throughout every episode- I actually felt giddy and happy by it! (Especially when you just had Sarwat dropping these pick up lines on such a clueless Tine as well as his constant obsession with Tine's chest). Yes, I know that there were some editing issues here and there, but it didn't really effect the story for me, in my opinion. The friends of both of Sarwat and Tine made it enjoyable as they add the comic relief as well as some wise words to the story. I also loved Green! I didn't like him in the beginning, cause I thought that his character was annoying and pushy, but he grew on me! I am gonna miss him! What got me annoyed about this series was episode twelve. Pam was introduced and we now have someone coming in on the second to last episode to confess her love to Sarwat. If whoever wrote the script and the director had just placed this part like some episodes before, I wouldn't hate it as much as I did last week. I still feel like this plotline was not needed for the boys (as it is so used up in BL series so much that it is starting to annoy me!) However, the boys were able to overcome this obstacle and be boyfriends in the end!
I might add that also in that dreaded episode twelve, I didn't like how the supporting couples were treated as Type treated Man like crap. However, he made it up in the final episode and made me so happy for them. I still think that Mil doesn't deserve Phukong and no one is gonna change my opinion about that!

Acting/Cast-9.5/10
I have stated this since this series started, I was highly impressed by the acting skills of both Bright and Win, as this was both boys first leading role in a series (Win's first acting gig). They entertained me when they were Sarawat and Tine and I felt like their acting was on another level for me. And the supporting characters brought their acting skills as well! I totally loved the screen time (no matter how little) that I got of Green, Man, Boss and Tine's friends! They made this series so much enjoyable for me!

Music- 10/10
Now! I have said this in my previous reviews- music is neither here or there to me in these series, cause I honestly do not pay attention to it-like AT ALL. This was not the case for me with this series. There are only three other OST songs that I will have in a loop in my head from Thai dramas that I may even burst out singing a line to. These are the OST for My Ambulance, the OST for UWMA and the closing OST for The Moment. And now there is 2gether the series opening AND closing songs. I usually skip the intro of series and just jump into the episodes, as I have no real care for the music. That was not the case with 2gether the series. I will play the opening and closing for every episode and hum along with the songs. This series also introduced me to Scrubb, who have excellent music. The soundtrack for this series is one of the best that I have seen in awhile.

Rewatch Value-9/10
Not gonna lie, from episode one to ten- I re watched the same week that it came out, cause of how the story enticed me with their plotline and their acting. However, it lost me a bit on eleven and totally lost me on twelve (thirteen got me back, though). Because of that- the rewatch value went down a bit for me. There is still no hesitation that I will rewatch episodes one to ten and thirteen like that! For the other two-I will have to get the strength and energy to watch them, especially episode twelve.

Overall-9/10
This series was good! I enjoyed it, especially episodes one to ten and thirteen. I will definitely recommend this for others to watch.

It started off good...and then I don't know what happened

When I first started this series, I was happy. Cause while I watched two other supernatural BL's (Ghost Runner and So Much In Love), it started off WAY better than them. But something happened along the way that in the end left me confused and not that eager for a sequel (if they do decide to have one).

Story-6.5/10
I stated before that it started good. And they had some excellent plots in the series. However, they werw timws that I became confused or bored in watching this series. And by watching the series, you can tell who was the bad person( well, at least I could). It left no question about it. Like...you just knew! And then the ending of the series didn't really help it for me. Matter of fact, I was going to give this a 7, but changed it to a 6.5 just because of that ending.

Acting/Cast-6.5/10
I'm going to give a 6.5, cause I felt that no one really shined for me except for Wit and Win. And that was sometimes. Nothing in any of the other actors acting stood out to me.

Music-7/10
The music was okay.

Rewatch Valu-3/10
I'm going on the lower spectrum and give this a three. Cause I was confused andbored in the middle of this series and watching it again is not going to change that for me.

Overall-6/10
Overall I give this series a 6. I felt that they missed an opportunity in twlling a really good story and that's unfortunate. I mean it's the highest that I have given a BL with the tag ghosts, so...yeah. I would not, however recommend this series to others to watch.

Binge-watched this in one go!

I waited for this series to end, so that I can binge watch it. So, today I did just that and watched all six episodes in one go!

Story-8/10
It's nice to see a different storyline from what we are normally watching. Just imagine what some of these BL actors have to go through, just for thier series to be made and to make a name for themselves is heartbreaking. It was nice to see the other side of the BL world with how they control thier lives bw it through what thwy eat, who they must be seen with and also how to handle thier Twitter/ Instagram pages. However, I felt that there were some areas that were lacking (I don't know what it is- it's just a feeling that I have). So for that I gave it an 8.

Acting/Cast-9
Man I am only giving this series a 9due to Michael's acting as Bas! He was f#$ing phenomenal! Especially in the last episode. The other actors acting were good, no doubt. But, Michael...Michael own was on a higher calibre than thiers!

Music-8/10
The music was actually cute and sweet! I like it!

Rewatch Valu-7.5/10
I am not in any rush to rewatch this series right now. When (or if) they do make a second season and if I need a refresh course in this series, then I will rewatch it. But for now, I'm not that eager to.

Overall-8/10
Overall it was an okay-ish series. I don't know why I was expecting something else and I feel like it wasn't delivered to me. However, Michael as Bas saved this show! Hope to see him in more future roles where I will support him!

I really don't know what to say. I sat down and watch all three episodes all at once and this has got to be the first series that has dissapointed me this year so far.

Story -5/10
The storyline really didn't capture my attention. I am only giving it a five cause of the supporting characters. I was more invested into them than the MC.

Acting/Cast-6/10
I gave this a six, cause, again, the supporting characters had me invested. I prefered seeing the MC's with thier friends/ families than with each other. Nuea and Vee interacting as friends were more entertaining to me than Nuea and Praram's relationship.

Music-5/10
I really don't pay attention to the music. But the OST was okay for me. Some parts where the music was played in the series was a bit too loud for me, though.

Rewatch Value-1/10
There is no way that I will rewatch this series. I just can't! I'm sorry, but it's a no from me.

Overall-4.5/10
Out of the three different stories, I ranked this the lowest. I won't be watching this again and I just can't recommend it to anyone.

They did start the majority of the episodes, if not all by giving a warning that this sitcom is made for pure entertainment and that there is no useful knowledge- only drama. The series also state not to ask for any rationality. So, when you watch this series keep that in mind!

Story-8/10
Story? What story? But seriously, they did bring up some important issues and handled them beautifully. However, some weird things did happen in this series that had you shaking your head or laughing out very loudly at it! I did love the MC. Nott actually gave good advice when he spoke to the directly to the audience. Nott and Pun together were also great. The person who stole the show for me was Porpla. I loved this character so much!

Acting/Cast- 9/10
I liked thier acting! They were able to put across the story so well!

Music-8/10
I gave their music an 8 cause the majority of their songs were from WRU? I gave an 8 thier as well.

Rewatch Value-6/10
I may watch this series in the future again, but currently I am not eager to watch it again.

Overall-8/10
This series gave a good message, eventhough we were told to not take it seriously. It was a good show for me!

A cute heratfelt comedy series that did have flaws

I started this series six days ago and waited patiently for the finale. I will say this- when I started it, I didn't expect to fall for the characters as I was a bit weary in watching it. Yes, for me personally, the series had some flaws. But I still found it enjoyable and loved it!

Story-8/10
I am giving this series an eight. Due to these reasons. Firstly, I felt from episodes eight to ten, something with the editing was a bit off and it didn't make the series flow properly. Secondly, what they did with Bam's character- that was not necessary and needed. And finally (and this is not thier fault), when I watch a series that I truly adore, I always get some kind of feelings. Unfortunately, that did not happen with this series- like at all. But all in all, I liked the story.

Acting/Cast-8.5/10
I liked how everyone acted, actually. My all time fav is Duean and Meen. I loved every minute that they were on the screen and I hope those actors are given more roles. I will most definitely support them.

Music-10/10
The music was most definitely the best part of this series. And then when I went and checked and saw who sang the opening and closing OST- I was floored. I feel in love with the music from the first episode. They really did a great job there.

Rewatch Valu-8/10
I liked this series. However, I am not that eager to rewatch it anytime soon. And if I do rewatch it, it may just be the bits of Duean and Meen (not lying here!)

Overall-8.5/10
Overall I give this series an 8.5/10. While it did have some flaws, I did enjoy it and yeah- I would recommended it to people who want to watch a heartfelt comedy BL series.

I had high hopes for this series only to be let down with disappointment

Okay, this is not going to be a long review. Just quick and to the point.

Story-6/10
I binge watched the first four episodes and...I liked them. The remaining four, I watched while they were airing and maybe that's the reason why I didn't enjoy it, I guess? (Besides the storyline loosing my interest as it progressed).

There were some scenes that I was not comfortable with. Like everyone just forcefully kissing Daonuea. That just wasn't cool at all. I would also like to add although I didn't like the character of Typhoon in the beginning, I felt that he shouls have gotten a happy ending as well.

I also felt that none of the characters were developed well, which really didn't add anything to the story.

Acting/Cast- 5/10
Unfortunately, no one really wowed me. It was just okay-ish. And i guess since I actually like the four episodes in the beginning due to me binge watching them, I will give thier acting a 5.

Music-8/10
The music is the only good and decent thing about this series. So for that, I will give a 8.

Rewatch Valu-3.5/10
I honestly do not see myself coming back to this series. Heck, I gotta come back to watch what ia foing to happen Daonuea's brother- Khaufah. I may wait for that series to complete or nearly complete before I decide to give that a go.

Overall-5.5/10
Overall, I give this series a 5.5/10. And I am so disappointed because it really did start off good and I was so invested in it. I just don't know what happened as it progressed.

Not the usual JBL that I watch

What I am writing here are my views and thoughts about this series. Some of you may not like it. That does not give you the right to try to come at me with your opinions on why this series should get a higher or lower score and why it is better/worse than I think it is. You have your own opinions, and I have mine. Kindly respect that.

I would first like to say that I usually don't like series/movies that deal with cheating unless the cheater gets their just desserts. That being said, I actually like this series. It's more than two men, who are both in relationships with other people, coming together and cheating. Both of their relationships are not offering something that they both desire/crave/want – intimacy with their loved ones. And yes, it may be a shock to some viewers, but I honestly believe that they do love their respective partners.

I mean, I personally believe that they should have broken up with their partners before this relationship developed as far as it did – but, as I mentioned before, they loved their significant others. In the span of seven episodes, we the viewers are able to see how much time they have expressed their desires to be intimate with them. I understand the reason for Kaori and her desires for no intimacy. I honestly didn't fully comprehend Fujisawa's own, though. But what I took from this was that these two couples knew that they had an intimacy problem. One partner wanted it, while the next one didn't. As such, someone from the two relationships should have called for a breakup, or at least Kario/Fujisawa should have explained to their boyfriends the reason behind why they don't want to have any intimacy with them.

That being said, I can understand why some people love this series and why some don't. I'm not here to try to change anyone's mind for them to either love or hate this series, as we all may understand this series differently. I'm just here to say that I liked it, and if anyone wants a JBL recommendation that's a bit different from what is usually portrayed, I will recommend this series to them.

It had it's moments

That does not give you the right to try to come at me with your opinions on why this series should get a higher or lower score and why it is better/worse than I think it is. You have your own opinions, and I have mine. Kindly respect that.

So, I can safely say that there were some parts of this series that I totally enjoyed and some parts that I didn't (as well as some parts that just did not sit well with me). I would first like to say that I totally adore Jun Xi's parents. They are the best parents that I have seen for a long while in a Taiwan series. I am so grateful that they went that route for Jun Xi's parents and him with his sexuality. I also adore (even though it was not much shown but hinted at the end) the beginning of the cute relationship between Lin Xiao Yang and He You Mei.

The relationship between the main leads was cute, but it did leave me scratching my head sometimes, as we the viewers see the extent that Han Tuo went to so that no one would get close to Jun Xi and date him, as he had feelings for him. But if Jun Xi is able to get over that little red flag behaviour, who are we, the viewers, to complain about it?

Now, I felt that the flow of this series was actually okay, even up to a part in the last episode. But after that, with them basically trying to close up all loose ends (some that I didn't even know were loose as well), it felt a bit lost in transition, as these characters were not developed properly and just had me either meh or confused by it (like am I the only one who did not see that Han Tuo's boss liked him?! Because that was just so left field for me.

But, all in all, I did enjoy this series, and it did have its moments. I would recommend this to people who just want a quick series to watch.

Nostalgic even to the end

It has been a while since we saw Krist and Singto in a BL series together. So, when this was announced – imagine my excitement! And I will say that there were times when this series delivered, and this could have been solely due to the chemistry of Krist and Singto, which has become better with time. This series relied on the fanbase of Krist and Singto and the nostalgic memory of their first BL series, as some scenes were kind of recreated in this series. We got so many kisses from this couple that had me shocked as well as proud to see how far they have come from their first BL series, Sotus, to now.

While the nostalgia was there and was able to assist in this series, I will say this – this series could have easily ended after eight episodes. I felt that some scenes were not necessary or needed, but I guess they were added to add excitement to this series, I guess. This was clearly seen in episode nine because, like, did anyone know about the illegal gambling, or did that story just sprout out in the ninth episode out of nowhere? And I felt that they just threw me in left field in making Paul the bad guy because I did not see that coming from anywhere. This can also be applied to the tenth episode, as Tam's mom has an issue with her eyes, and her doctor resides in Australia. So Tam goes and lives with her to help her while Tam and Phi develop a long-distance relationship over the years. Again, just out of the right field with me, as we were not previously informed of Tam's mother's ailment.

But all in all, I'm happy to have given this series a chance, as we once again are introduced to the dynamics of Krist and Singto, who have shown to us that their chemistry together is stronger than ever, and (hopefully) here's to more series with GMMTV's first power couple.

P.S. – Did anyone else go 'Ah!' when Krist was dressed up as a turtle and Singto was dressed as a lion? As this is what their mascot (child) Kingman is – a turtle and a lion. Again, GMMTV snuck this small detail in for their fans.

So grateful that I gave this series a chance and decided to watch it

What I am writing here are my views and thoughts about this series. Some of you may not like it. That does not give you the right to try to come at me with your opinions on why this series should get a higher or lower score and why it is better/worse than I think it is. You have your own opinions, and I have mine. Kindly respect that.

Sometimes I decide to just give a series a shot and see if I like it. Sometimes I wonder, 'why did I put myself through such torture?' And sometimes I am beyond happy that I decided to give it a shot. It was the latter for this series. From the beginning, I was drawn into the main characters and their interaction with each other. As their relationship blossomed over the episodes, I feel more and more in love with them, thier friends and thier antics. This series does not only give us an awesome main couple, but it also gives us two amazing friends, who deserve to have a spinoff as one of them is crushing on the next one and he doesn't know!!!!

I felt that this series handled the kiss scenes and the NC scene well. Especially as I felt that the NC scene was well done compared to other Korean BL series out there. It was just phenomenon. And I just want to say that I was not expecting the amount of kisses that we recieved througout this series- but it was done so good.

I really feel like I shoud recommend this series as it was surprisingly good. If you want a quick shockingly good Korean BL series a watch, give this series a watch.

A hidden cute gem

This was a cute and unique series that I was shocked by and enjoyed. Although the concept sounded weird, they somehow made it work- a penguin turned human to experience human life and wound up in a school where a black panther (who also turned human) was. Their relationship was cute, especially since Sun, in the beginning, really just wanted to eat Junior, the penguin. But, in the end, it turned into love.

Of course, in the beginning, there was some form of bullying, but they were able to solve that. What got to me was the zookeeper looking for Junior throughout the whole series as he wanted to sell him (with some other animals) to earn money for his ailing mother. It was indeed a weird series, but they were able to pull it off, even getting me emotional sometimes.

There were parts where, of course, I did not understand or just did not make sense to me, but I still rolled with it as the storyline still had me invested, and I genuinely wanted to know how they were going to end this series. I like watching series like this that can surprise me, and that's why I give these series a chance and watch them, because they can either be good or bad- this one was good!

Law vs. Love

Oh! This was a good series! I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did because I approach these shows free from everything, ignoring what everybody says and forming my own opinion about it, as sometimes I can get disappointed when people call a series a masterpiece and then...it's not. This was not the case.

The series drew me in from the beginning with the storyline and the amazing actors. The chemistry was felt from the two main actors from the get-go, and it wasn't cheesy as seen in most of the Thai BL's. I was more flabbergasted and awestruck by the flirting, if I must say so. It had me getting little jolts of surprises here and there (especially in episode three with two of the supporting characters), and if you can do that, then you know that the series is good.

The funny thing is before them telling me WHO was doing the murders (when you can tell it was not the doctor), I already figured it out. Usually that's something that turns me off, as there really is no more mystery left. But here in this series, the way that they showed us how it was this individual was unique, I guess, as it still was able to keep me here. I also wanted to know the personal reason for doing these murders. Only one thing passed me, and it was one of the supporting characters and who she really was in the story. And that was one of the plus things for me, as sometimes I am confused in these mystery dramas and don't know who did it until the end when I am being told who it was.

Now, it was the last episode that really got to me. I actually thought that Kan was going to get away with it and live happily ever after with Thiu. But this was not the case as Thiu finds out the truth and, of course, chooses the law over their love story. I will say that while I do understand, it surprised me a bit, as I thought it would have ended another way—and that's why I am impressed with this series.

It was neatly told in eight episodes and had me on the edge of my seat for each episode. If you are looking for something different with a great storyline and great actors, I suggest that you watch this.

I find that too much was going on for just 12 episodes

I don't know. I just felt that A LOT was taking place in the space of just 12 episodes that I was always playing catch up due to this. Like, this series started off good; a lot of things were added, and then I just kind of wanted to finish it in 2024 for my MDL 2024 challenge.

The evil guy (Kim Young So) like his hand was in EVERYTHING evil (organ trafficking, stolen artefacts, wanting to live for eternity, just to name a few). I personally felt that it was a bit too much. I also felt a little confused because he said that it was a mistake when Shota killed Jo Hin Dal's sister; the only reason why he was following his orders. I don't know if he truly meant to or if it really was a mistake.

What I must say is that the comedy is there as well as the action scenes, so I am grateful for that. Hwang De Myung's delivery in both the comic side and the action side of his character was truly enjoyable. This is my second time watching the works of JooWon and I am more impressed here than with the movie 'Carter.'
